In this, Michelle's first solo podcast episode, she shares about what got her to her life's calling: intimacy. She was always comfortable talking about sex, but safe emotional and physical intimacy has been a struggle in her history. Learn who Michelle 1.0 was and how the journey to the current operating system (Michelle 4.0 or 5.0 - she's lost count) is due in large part to her getting into pro cuddling when she did. Also, a lovely tribute to the healing power of relationship.
